AccuRev has drafted its presence in the German market through a partnership with Pix Software GmbH at Eclipse Forum Europe 2006. The two companies will join hands for sales, service and support of AccuRev’s best-of-breed software configuration management (SCM) solution. AccuRev claims Pix Software’s experience in SCM, software quality assurance and application lifecycle management (ALM) will provide locally-based expertise and support for AccuRev’s existing and growing customer base in the region.

Pix Software customers range from market-leading organizations such as ING Groep, Deutsche Telekom and Siemens to mid-sized companies seeking to improve process automation through consulting, tools implementation and professional services. Pix Software, a certified Atlassian JIRA reseller, also plans to take advantage of the AccuRev’s AccuBridge for JIRA, which provides both enterprise and SMB organizations with the core for an optimal best-of-breed ALM solution.

AccuRev, on the other hand, provides software development process optimization, with a best-of-breed software configuration management (SCM) solution. The company claims that its interface, with advanced visualization and process automation, makes the traditionally manual processes of branching and merging, central to any advanced parallel process, a core competitive advantage.

Arne Schirmacher, CEO at Pix Software GmbH said, “We believe AccuRev’s approach to application lifecycle management and process-oriented parallel development technology will have an increasingly positive affect on the German SCM landscape.”
Cliff Utstein, vice president of marketing and business development, AccuRev, said, “This partnership with Pix Software provides us with the local presence in Germany and Central Europe that our customers require. We expect to work with Pix Software over the coming months in order to sell AccuRev into both the SMB and enterprise markets in Central Europe.”
